Innovation in payments
Innovation in payments is driven by competition, facilitated by technology, and will usually deliver value to consumers and merchants. In the last few years, the most successful innovations in payments have been those that offer payments in areas that were either un-served or under-served, such as online and mobile commerce, or those that offer access to customers who were previously excluded, or payments within a new business or social interactions. In all cases, products succeed when they bring benefits to every participant in the payment chain.
